One man + 14 women = 23 children and prison

The Muskegon, Mich., man is accused of fathering 23 children with 14 women. The Grand Rapids Press reports that a state investigation showed that Veal apparently fathered at least one child every year from 1989 to 1999. In three of the years, he was the daddy to three new babies.

He is also behind on child support — to the tune of more than $500,000.

A judge this week sentenced him to two to four years in prison for not paying support.

“You are the poster child for irresponsibility,” the Michigan newspaper says the judge told Veal. “You’re an insult to every responsible father who sacrifices to provide for their children.”

The judge added these words of wisdon: “Animals procreate, human beings are supposed to nurture their children.”
